The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing, Or How to Get Started Writing Online Book Reviews, Part 5
The fifth in a series of articles on writing online book reviews. Click here for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4. Today’s article features a link to a series of interviews with online book reviewers, as well as presenting the opportunity to review with Blogcritics.org.
Here is a treat for those of you who have been enjoying this series of posts about writing book reviews online (and interviews with online book reviewers). It seems that I’m not the only one who has been thinking along these lines.
A series of articles has been running at Blogcritics.org, featuring interviews with well known online book reviewers with established book review sites of various types. I have found reading them very enjoyable! The series is running throughout the month of June, with many installments left to come. If you want to get started reading, check out The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing. This list of interviews will be updated throughout the month as the new interviews are released.
I’m a newbie reviewer with Blogcritics – only three reviews posted there (you can see my writer profile here, with a list of reviews), and a stack of materials in the mail and on their way for me to review. If you think you’d be interested in writing for them – books available in a wide variety of genres, DVDs, music cd’s etc. or writing news, commentary or social opinion articles… then check out their introductory guidelines here. If you are accepted you will receive a lot of information on their detailed guidelines and submission processes – a bit of a learning curve.
From the looks of their content they may not have many Christian reviewers, and perhaps not many Christian readers, but I hope to do a small part in raising the profile of Christian titles by reviewing them through their site – they receive 50,000 hits each day!
Happy review writing, and reading!
